In February, we celebrate President's Day. The day is in honor of our Nation's first president George Washington and our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln (both have birthdays in February). Between the two, which do you believe made a greater contribution to America?
What would you talk about if you could have lunch together? How do you think the president you chose would be adapting to life today?

Yesterday was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday. He is considered one of the most beloved civil rights activists in history. He has made many famous speeches based on the belief that everyone should be treated the same. He also has a memorial in Washington D.C. that honors his legacy, and the struggle for freedom, equality, and justice. The pictures posted above are ones of the memorial that I took on a trip to Washington D.C. a few years ago.
This week, I want you to think about... What does it mean to "do the right thing?" Why do you think some people choose to do the easy thing as opposed to the right thing? If you could invent any tool or new technology that would improve your life in some way, what would you create? What would it do? How would it work? When would you use it? Explain in a minimum of three paragraphs. https://www.nyit.edu/files/landing_hero/Home_DegreeCluster_ComputerScienceDataCyberSecurity.jpg Also, please remember that your post (including your reply/comment to a classmate's is due by Monday morning, BEFORE school begins. Any post after school begins it will be marked late. It's the start of a new year. We're all working with clean slates. Over the break, I was talking to a friend about how I love the starting of a new year because it's like a newly bought journal where each day is a blank page to help write my story for the year.
This week, I want you to think about choosing kindness. What would be something kind that you could do for someone this week? What would it be? How would you do it? Why? Hope everyone had a wonderful few days off!
